Claude review of the day: Sonnet is terrible (great in overengineering) even if you need to pay it just adds more techdebt. Anthropic just sells you the $200/month solution which is Opus. Don't fall in the trap and review every single commit with focus in reducing LOCs

@pancake I've been surprised how often Sonnet leaves stuff in (or adds stuff in) for "backwards compatibility" - even for internal APIs and pet projects.

@pancake well, what task was it? Seems like a very broad statement for something that literally differs for each prompt...

@drtau load a random fortune message from a directory and one level of directories in C. It was reimplementing basic utility functions that was already there instead of using it, lots of duplicated code, etc. im just rewriting it all by hand. But the whole brainstorming helped me to get some improvement ideas in the design of that api. So worth it in some way but not in the generation code pov
